Overview

• In federal court in Los Angeles, Dr. Salvador Plasencia admitted guilt to four felony counts of ketamine distribution.
• Prosecutors said he illegally supplied Matthew Perry with 20 vials of ketamine, lozenges and syringes in September and October 2023 after enlisting another doctor, Mark Chavez.
• Under his plea agreement, prosecutors dropped three additional distribution charges and two falsifying records counts, and he remains free on bond until sentencing on December 3.
• Plasencia’s lawyers emphasized that he did not provide the dose that killed Perry and said he plans to surrender his medical license in the coming weeks.
• Jasveen Sangha, known as the ‘Ketamine Queen,’ is the only defendant yet to plead guilty and is set for trial in August on charges of supplying the fatal dose.
